How to remove my passport from a blacklist in Indian Immigration?
I'm a citizen of Sri Lanka. I visited India on a tourist visa in 2007. I didn't overstay and didn't have any issues when coming back. But when I applied for a visa in 2012 for business a visit I was granted the visa but was deported at Chennai airport, being told my passport was blacklisted. They couldn't give me any explanation except to say the Indian government doesn't give me permission to enter their country.
Now I need to travel in a week for a business visit.
How do I get my passport removed from the blacklist?
Even if I get the visa without removal from the list, I'm concerned that they may deport me once again.

You've left this awfully late, my friend. There's 2 things I would suggest you do at this point (not sure if they'll help you with this trip though, seeing as you need to travel in 2 days)
- Contact/visit the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka and speak to them about the issue. They may be able to offer some clarity as to why you were refused entry and deported.
- Speak to the Department of Immigration and Emigration in Sri Lanka, and see if they can offer some insight into the status of your passport. You may need to apply for a new one, which will most likely take longer than a week.
Best of luck!

Answer 2
Your case is the same as mine. But I have overstayed for 11 years. 4 years back when I applied for tourist visa, they have granted me a visa but refused entry in Chennai airport. Then I approached high commission and explained my need to visit to India. The high commissioner gave a letter stating the reason. Immigration officials in Chennai have granted entry accepting the letter after a week of the first refused entry.
